At a time when the volatile global economy is hitting shipping hard, Hempel is launching high-solids versions of their Globic, Oceanic and Olympic antifoulings, which offer optimized features and stronger ROI the company said. The new versions, Globic 9000, Globic 6000, Oceanic+ and Olympic+, have been optimized to offer the benefits of high-solids. They offer improved binder systems, polishing rates, biocides and solids levels. In addition, they also feature microfiber technology, which works like steel reinforcement in concrete to deliver superior mechanical strength and elasticity. In addition, Hempel said the new high-solids antifoulings allow shipowners to reduce the environmental impact of their vessels. By delivering protection against fouling, they cut fuel consumption and associated emissions. Plus, their emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are very low. Offering exceptional performance in even the most aggressive waters, Globic 9000 is Hempel’s new top-end antifouling the company said. An evolution of Globic NCT, it can be specified for 90-month docking intervals. Globic 6000 is a new product in the Globic series, which builds on the same technology as Globic 9000. It is suitable for 60-month intervals. Both Globic 9000 and Globic 6000 are designed around patented nano-capsule binder technology, which has been refined by Hempel over the last ten years. Importantly, analysis of indocking vessels using an antifouling based on this technology confirms they show very little evidence of fouling–even after five years at sea, according to the company. Oceanic+ is a more economical solution for 60-month intervals. It offers dependable performance in most trading waters, and is also available in a special version developed for flat-bottom applications. Olympic+ is an evolution of Olympic, an antifouling with a documented record of strong and reliable performance not overly aggressive fouling waters. It offers improved performance for 36-month service intervals.
